Slam attempt numba 5!

So a couple of days ago It was suggested by someone I give another attempt at Slam poetry. well here we go!

Standing
ontop of the world
Looking down
onto you
you and your sweet...
oh your sweet.
And you make me feel like dancing!
But the nights gone away..
Whats a man to do.
Lonely
Distracted so easily
oooh whats ..oh what was I saying
ah yes, you
We smile politely like
the cultured people we are
Ignoring the screaming inside
My brain dances while my heart endures
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

I need some good savin
My arms retracted
Reaching for you
Oh I want to yell
Stand up ontop of a mountain
which is ..ironically
closer than you are.
When did this happen?
Some would call me retarded
Label my feelings with terrett's
But you know suga'
We're goin down swingin
like a sixteen week number 1
you'll be up top in May
But back below earth in July
I guess thats what happens
When I try to get you to fly.

Oh there I go rhymin again
A love sick doctor seus
Maybe the grinch stole christmas
but he should have included you
It would be a lot easier
when the wall im cryin out to
begging to see me
doesnt have a face
nor a place
And I can blame a cartoon character
not a real person
for making me feel so incomplete.

I highdive right into the abyss!
Judges give a ten
and turn their heads in disgust
stubborn is my middle name
Everywhere I turn
I'm a reason
an excuse
a last stand
an exception to the rule
Like a servant with the wrong tea
getting it thrown back
dodging priceless china
we're not in third grade
but still I avoid being knocked out
better than being caught stealing..
you away.

There isnt much to it.
Like riding a bike
With no handlebars
Or brakes
Just close your eyes
And enjoy the ride down
Cant rely on old voice mails
phone calls
and past reminders
Father time gets mad, you know.
For stepping on his grill
and ignoring the present
like a bad pair of striped socks.
Can you do this forever?
I guess you can.
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

Riding the merry go round
like a little kid
ignorant of the bigger rides
with the larger turns
the deathdefying spins
and letting your heart cry out
just enjoying riding around in circles
without a care in the world
I'm envious of those who dont envy
I'm jealous of those who arent
And I'm impatient for those who can wait
But stay on the ride
No harm in that
I guess.

Beautiful
when beautiful used to mean something
Ravishing
when it meant more than a B class movie
Cute
when I knew what cute was
Untouchable
no matter how much I yearn to bring you down
Gorgeous
no analogy.. you just are.

comme un papillon
vous aimer me donne des ailes
mais quelqu'un m'a touché
et im commençant à tomber
pardonnez-moi
mais je suis prêt à essayer de marcher
son plus sûr
et ne blessera pas
quel biseauté soit blessé plus
adieu
mon amour


Oh I'm gonna love to dance again
newly innocent feet anxious to move
freed from ten pound shackles
covered in dark blonde hair
you know what they say
80's music and bacardi
drown out my inner screams
ignorance is bliss
and I'm enjoyin cloud 9
so wont you join me?
I assure you
we'll be fine
It cant be any worse than this
imagining a kiss
just promise, to let me breathe
because sometimes I get caught up
not like you'd stop
Can you do this forever?
I guess you can.
I went wrong somewhere? who knows
I dont.
Do you?
You and your sweet...
Oh your sweet.

mais je m'ennuie toujours de vous

  2. What's 'Slam Poetry' Mr. BJ?

  3. Slam poetry is when you write something to be performed, when its meant for the lips and not the pen.

    I wrote it to hopefully one day recite it.
